How much weight can the cord/ceiling mount hold? I plan to DIY a metal orb onto it and I don't want it to break.

I'm not sure if the exact answer, but the cord is a well braided sheath and I would say I could easily hold several pounds safely.

Not much. It uses pretty weak acorn nuts to secure the plate to the box. You could probably find a longer screw and nut to mount it and make it work out though.

I am eagerly waiting to hear about your experience with this mount. (I am also considering using it for a 42" Panasonic -stated weight 45.2lbs.) I have another articulating mount, a very expensive one, but it is seriously heavy--almost as heavy as the TV! And since I am mounting to the outside of a cabinet, I would prefer to keep the total weight down. Amazon states that the weight of this product is 2.5 pounds; is this correct? (The mount I have weighs 38 lbs.) I would also be interested to know how far the mount "sticks out" from the wall when it is fully folded back. Thanks.

I don't think there would be a problem with a ceiling mount. You will just have to attach the bearing to two pieces of wood and attach the non swivel bottom piece to the ceiling. If your wood is thick enough to use heavy duty wood screws there should be no weight bearing problem.

Hello BaronI believe it the weight is around 60-70lbs. What I have done just to be sure it will not fal down I have added some support in the ceiling(couple pieces of 2X4 added between joist) so there is a place to drive screws into(there are two steel( crossed) bars that you will have to mount it to the ceiling). I guess it depends on the structure/layout of the ceiling where you will be installing it.Hope that helps.M

If it is mounted in a rafter stud you should have no problem. I am not sure of the actual weight of the fixtures and bulbs, but mounted per the instructions you should not have any problem. (Don't try to climb or swing on it.)

The weight restriction would be better answered by your ceiling or mounting surface. Mine is holding 3 12' aluminum conduit pipes with 10' x 20' vinyl backdrops. I don't have any problems at all with the plastic chains. If yours are breaking every time you use them, the you need to lighten the resistance clamp on the left side.This product is worth the money and will support whatever you through at it.

The mount itself is rated to 165lbs, you'll need to make sure you get hardware that will support that weight.

I wouldn't do it. The mount alone is at least 25lbs. I see disaster in your future if you do so.

I would not recommend trying to support the weight of anything from the electrical plug/cord. The cords I received are quite tight on the female end, but the male end, (blades), were never designed to support weight. I have attached restraints to keep the 1 foot cords in place within an portable cabinet. I used plastic zip ties. In this manner, there is no additional weight placed on either the cord plug, or the outlet. There are companies that make retainers to prevent cords from pulling apart, but they are normally seen on construction sites where tools are being used repeatedly and the guys just pull the cord along with the tool. Mostly the cord is tied into a knot for this purpose. For the laptop power supply, I would try to extend it to either the floor, or another location to allow the supply cord to rest on. I hope this helps, and good luck!

I would guess up to 15 pounds. You could possibly use longer screws which may increase the holding power. I am an artist and I use the mounts to create diptychs from assembling multiple wood framed shadow boxes weighting a range of 8 to 12 pounds.

This is kind of a physics questions. Well it depends on the ceiling joist, 2x4, 2x6, etc and how far between the load bearing walls the tv will sit. I think you should be sure to use the right hardware to attach the mount, probably lag bolts. If in doubt contact a carpenter to look at your ceiling joist. Sorry there's a lot of info necessary to be sure.

The base is mildly weighted. I don't have any issues with this lamp falling over. You power it on and off on the cord, anyway, so you really come into little contact with the lamp itself. The whole thing (sans cord) weighs a little less than a pound at 15.3oz (433g).

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

The cord is NOT detachable. Not sure about the weight limit. I have a 22" LG monitor with no issues.

I would say it weighs between 75 and 100 lbs. and it is very heavy if you are planning to wall mount so make sure that you have extra help if trying to do this. I would recommend up to three people because it does not really have anything but the sides to hold onto.

Sorry can't help ... I am using it to hang a shower curtain which isn't very heavy. I would suggest that you get something a lot sturdier for a closet.

This TV mount as I remember was rated well above 80 lbs as long as it is mounted to the wall properly. My personal experience is it would hold at least 2 - 80lb TVs. It's a universal mountso there shouldn't be any problems attaching the hangers. I've had mine for about 2 years. I give it a 10 out of 10 rating! Sony 60"
